pixelScale?

[Monte Goulding]

Google assumes we are all working in java where the density is abstracted into 4 common plus a couple of less common density groups. LiveCode doesn't do that abstraction for us so we get the actual pixels on screen. 

The DisplayMetrics class has a density property which gives you the abstracted density that a java dev might want. However it also has xdpi and ydpi if you need it (which we do).
